I have heard news that Mushahid Hussain talked about construction boom when talking about reconstruction of affected areas. Importantly he is senior vice president of PML(Q) and he is very close to the Chodhry family. There had been soem reports about Chodhry’s son making money in fake real estate and construction boom. And you can see these greedy people sharpening their knives over the rubble. It reminds me of a story by Manto, Thunda Gosht.

Thunda Gosht! ran chill through my T-Bones. My God. These people are really nasty. I am already hearing worries and news of actually Thunda Gosht type callousness as many young women are helpless without families. The vultures are already out there waiting for their prays. Where people like Musharaf make comments Rape is a business then his power players may start finiding business opportunities in this catastrophies. May Allah help the poor of my nation

A ’sign’ isnt always a manfistation of Wrath or Punishment. Sometimes, it is a test, among many, sent to help us reflect, remember, refine, and perhaps sometimes repent on our actions?

The ones who’ve passed away are martyrs (victims of earthquakes,floods, etc..) and the ones who are left behind (broken families, relatives, and the spectators, mainly us) are left to decide how long we’ll remember this sign before returning to our pseudo-real lives.

Any person of reason and the smallest atom of mercy or good manners will realize that the victims of this tragedy deserve our love, compassion, and kindness — not lectures.
